This error typically arises in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when trying to extract or load data related to HR (Human Resources) and the DataSource in question is not configured to handle certain types of data.
  Cause:
  
  DataSource Configuration: The DataSource you are using may not be configured to support CE results. This can happen if the DataSource is designed for a specific type of data that does not include cost element information.
  Employee Data: The employee specified in the error message may have data that includes CE results, but the DataSource does not accommodate this type of data.
